“This is our third holiday with Sykes, the first two have been great, but this one has been even better.”

The cottage had everything you need it with a beautiful view. We really love the area which is simply stunning. We we’ll go back.

“As a family of 4 we had a fantastic week at the Staffa.”

Stunning location with beautiful views across the Loch. The cabin was immaculate with everything you need. Would love to visit in the Autumn. Everyone in the village are very friendly and welcoming.

“Strontian Hotel nearby, allows dogs in the bar and you can book dinner there.”

However, you have to stay in the bar, where they set up a couple of tables next to the restaurant. Food good, but the steak medium instead of well done. Lots to do, recommend Ferry , Skye from Mallaig, Mull from Kilchoan (Tobermory). Arisaig Kayak , £50 half day and very safe, shallow bay/islets. Glenfinnan viaduct and monument .Cambusdarach beach(a beauty). Ardtoe beach was also excellent. Glencoe , Macdonald monument , Kinlochleven, Ben Nevis and Fort William a must.

“Wonderful location and very good weather.”

The air conditioning was an added bonus and much appreciated.

“Not suitable for retired or slightly disabled people.”

Road to chalet full of potholes and path from carpark, very steep and four steps made of wood with dross on them, which made them very slippy. No bedside light in the twin room, so had to use torch and the couch was so low we had to pull each other up. Weather was wonderful.

“The views from the cabin were unbelievable.”

The wildlife around was amazing and we were deafened by the birdsong. An excellent choice for anyone who has a pampered pooch

“This was our third holiday using Sykes and each time we have been very happy with the properties rented.”

We have already recommended to our friends, and they also loved their holiday property rented through Sykes.

“Staffa lodge far exceeded my expectations.”

It was clean, extremely well equipped, can't think of anything that was not included and all of the best quality. It was lovely and warm to come back to after a chilly day out. Lovely comfortable bed. The view was to die for. I would thoroughly recommend this lodge to all my friends and family.

“Staffa was the best equipped self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in.”

The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need and provided it. The cabin is a real 'home from home' and we had a wonderful break here. The views from the cabin are lovely and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Sitting on the decking watching the sun set across the Loch was beautiful and the night sky was so dark that we could pick out all the stars. Just amazing.

“The holiday was booked as a bit of R&R after Hip replacement so nothing in the listing prepared me for the access to the property, only mentions a step up to the property, no mention of the 4 steps and steep gradient to the cabin from the car park.”

The cabin it's self has stunning views over the loch, clean and very well equipped, was expecting a log burner or open fire, not the warm air heater which was something akin to a industrial space heater and not up to the task silently. Booked 7 days but left after 5.

“Lovely quiet location, view from cabin overlooking the loch beautiful.”

We went in November and most places had closed for winter, tho there are two local little shops we were glad we also took own food for the week

“A lovely log cabin with great facilities and comfort.”

We loved staying here for the week! The village was small and peaceful and we used this as a base to travel to other areas, we would love to come back next year, thanks for a great week!

Great for a short or long break

“Staffa was a real hidden Gem.”

Despite the time of year, the cabin was lovely and cosy. It was by far the most well equipped self catered accommodation we have stayed in. We will definitely book again if we are coming back to this area.

“Accommodation first class.”

Location first class.

“Great location, but up a small fairly steep hill, so 4 wheel drive car might be required if weather turns snowy/icy.”

Great view over the loch & across to the bens. Accommodation was excellent - comfy, clean & spacious. Had everything you needed, even down to a pint of milk in the fridge & a packet of shortbread ( nice touch ! ). If I was in the habit of revisiting an area I would definitely go back to Staffa again, but tend to try different places. Enjoyed the walks ( both local & further afield ), although the weather was kind to us - unfortunately something which cannot be guaranteed in north west Scotland. All in all a great wee autumn break.

Seaview Cabins

These lovely detached Scandinavian pine cabins occupy an idyllic hillside position, offering stunning views across Loch Sunart on the fabulous Ardnamurchan Peninsula. Presented to a very high standard, these log cabins are perfect for families or groups of friends who will appreciate the stunning scenery, amazing wildlife and gentle pace of life in this wonderful part of the West Highlands of Scotland. From the cabins, it is just a short stroll downhill to the village of Strontian with its friendly local village shops, tourist information centre and cafe. Strontian is ideally placed for touring the whole of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, with its gorgeous scenery and beaches. Visit Ardnamurchan Point and Lighthouse at the most westerly point on the British mainland and enjoy the peace and spectacular scenery from the top of the tower. The area is rich in things to do, and with Loch Sunart on the doorstep, guests can bring a small boat and take advantage of the local slipway and enjoy some watersports. For those looking for a beautiful sandy beach, then drive along the winding single track road to Sanna Bay and discover the white shell sand and turquoise waters. Take the car and explore the west coast and visit Glenfinnan monument, see the Hogwart's Express and the Harry Potter viaduct en-route to the busy fishing village of Mallaig, where the ferry across the sea to Skye can be taken; or catch the ferry across to the Isle of Mull and visit Tobermory for a day. The Ardnamurchan Peninsula is a wonderful and unspoilt area of Scotland and these log cabins will ensure a relaxing holiday for all.
